The document summarizes the MyIRE platform, which aims to streamline the medical research process from hypothesis generation to publication using blockchain technology and an integrated suite of tools. Key points:
- MyIRE provides end-to-end management of clinical trials and research studies using interoperable modules on a blockchain network to enable reproducible research.
- The MyIRE token (MYR) will power transactions on the platform and increase in value as the network grows through additional products/services and liquidity.
- MyIRE's revenue model includes setup fees and subscriptions for individual researchers and institutions, as well as transaction fees on an proposed marketplace.
- An experienced team of medical researchers, software engineers, and business

2. WHAT’S IN A NAME?
2
MyIRE stands for My Integrated Research Environment
The term “Integrated Research Environment” borrows
from the computer scientist world where an
“integrated development environment” allows
developers from all over the world to rapidly create
software using common tools.
“IRE” represents the frustration that researchers feel
when conducting research with the myriad of
disconnected tools required.

4. WHY WE ALL NEED MYIRE

Your life depends on your doctor’s advice.
We all get sick, and when we do, we turn to our doctor for their
expert opinion on how to navigate the available treatment options
Your doctor depends on medical research.
Every care choice and piece of advice your doctor provides is based
on medical experiments. These experiments are expensive and time
consuming for doctors, patients, and industry.
Most medical research is not reproducible
Researchers repeat experiments to verify their accuracy.
Unfortunately, researchers often get different results when they
repeat experiments. This means your doctor’s expert opinion could
be based on faulty evidence.
5. REMEMBER THE TELEPHONE GAME?

The message breaks down as it is passed from step to step.
6. RESEARCH PROJECTS ARE A TELEPHONE GAME OF TOOLS
6
The same thing happens in science. The message breaks down as the researcher
moves data from one disparate tool to the other.

OUR CUSTOMERS HATE THE TELEPHONE GAME
“In simple terms, the software wasn't designed for us. Software
that would actually look at our workflow and respond to our
needs would be useful. But in virtually every product I've seen,
the investigator is an afterthought not central to the design.
The software isn't focused on the way that physicians,
coordinators and clinicians work. There is nothing about it that
is investigator friendly”
Michael Koren, M.D.
CEO, Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research
The CenterWatch Monthly, May 2016
Today, too many tools are inconsistently
applied amongst too many departments
that don’t meet the needs of today’s
investigators.
9. MYIRE’S REPRODUCIBLE BLOCKCHAIN MODEL
Doctors choose from
interoperable modules to
suit their needs.
Hypatia Hypothesis Generation
MyIRE can be deployed on
premise, in our HIPAA
compliant secure cloud or in
a distributed model.
MyIRE can interact with
other solutions with our
interoperable APIs.

The MyIRE Platform Consists of Integrated and Interoperable Modules That Enable an
Investigator to Conduct an Entire Clinical Research Trial from Beginning to End.
The modules link together via blockchain to form reproducible projects.
10. BUILT ON BLOCKCHAIN
10
Blockchain ensures trust, transparency, and consistent communication via cryptography,
ensuring the highest level of integrity
11. THE MYR TOKEN
11
To use the MyIRE platform, users must purchase MYR tokens. Prospective users
will only be able to purchase the products, services, and modules offered by or
through the MyIRE platform with MYR tokens. Moreover, only paying clients of
MyIRE will have access to the ecosystem.
12. THE MYR VALUE PROPOSTION
12
§ In order to power the MyIRE platform for the conduct of reproducible research, a
native cryptocurrency, the MyIRE (“MYR”) token, will be created and distributed to
network participants.
§ The MYR token will allow value created in the system to be captured by the system
itself. Just as almost all countries have their own currency, requiring transactions on
the MyIRE platform to be in MYR will set up incentives to remain in the system.
§ By requiring that transactions use MYR, participants will become claim holders on
the system, which we believe will generate the same incentives that have helped
ecosystems like Ethereum (and many so-called “alt-coins”) explode into active and
diverse communities.
13. HOW MYR BENEFITS MYIRE
13
Increase in Offered Products and Services
• We believe the value of the MYR token will increase as the number and value of products offered by
or through the MyIRE platform increases.
• We believe that more offered products and services will increase demand for access to the MyIRE
platform, thereby increasing demand for MYR tokens.
Increase in Liquidity
• We believe that more participants in the MyIRE ecosystem will increase the liquidity of the MYR token.
• We believe that a more liquid token can lead to more stability and higher value.
Transaction Fees
• MYR will be a revenue generator for MyIRE, Inc. In addition to the subscriptions fees MyIRE will collect
from users of the platform, we plan to charge a percentage-based transaction fee – to be paid with
MYR tokens - on each purchase between third parties within the MyIRE ecosystem
• We believe this fee will create a recurring and increasing revenue stream for MyIRE, Inc. and also
increase demand and value for MYR tokens.
